* IWorkAlone: He is absolutely insistent on this in the sequel...or at least not working with Tim. Tina and Tim overrule him but he maintains this attitude even when they're infiltrating Tabitha's school.

[[spoiler:It is notable that after this point, he actually starts trying to work things out with Tim, instead of simply berating and threatening him as he has done previously.]] He also gives the reaction several times throughout the series, usually just after hurting Tim.
